NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O'Neal Chapter 300

"I don't know what's going on. I just couldn't exert my strength today, and I couldn't make any shots."

Wang Zelin spread his hands, as if he had been beaten to the point of doubting his life.

"This……"

Coach Terry felt guilty for a while.

He almost forgot that the young man in front of him was not yet twenty, and it was normal for a young man to have ups and downs.

But because of Wang Zelin's excellent performance last season, he subconsciously ignored his age.

"Okay, Wang, when you have a chance, you can attack according to your hand, but your main job is to defend the penalty area, understand?"

Knowing that Wang Zelin was not in good shape, Coach Terry made some adjustments to the game and no longer asked him to attack and defend.

"Got it, coach."

Wang Zelin nodded.

Alas, he couldn't say that it was actually caused by having too much fun with his new comrades in the morning.

"Damien! LaMarcus!" Coach Terry roared, "I need you to deliberately put that **** basketball in the hoop, we must not lose this game!"

"receive."

"clear."

Lillard and Aldridge got up and shouted in unison.

Of course, Wang Zelin is the most popular, potential, and fan favorite player of the Trail Blazers, but this is not because other players are hopeless idiots.

To be able to stand out from countless basketball players around the world and enter the top league NBA where only hundreds of people play, all of them are one-of-kind basketball geniuses.

An All-Star like Aldridge is a genius among geniuses.

Geniuses have their own arrogance!

As a last resort, they can admit to players who are more talented than themselves, but this does not mean that they will never give up that motivated heart.

Intersection pause ends.

Lillard and Aldridge are gearing up to give the Detroit a hard lesson.

Due to the backwardness, the Blazers only replaced two main players, Matthews and Batum, and Wang Zelin, together with Lillard and Aldridge, reappeared.

At this time, the team's backup shooting guard is Connet Lee, and the backup small forward is Will Barton.

Pistons side.

The two main players of Andre Drummond and Josh Smith are still on the court, and the three substitutes for the partner are Will Bynum, Rodney Stuckey and Kerr Singer.

Josh Smith, who can play three or four, has reached the No. 4 position. With a height of 2.06 meters, he does not necessarily suffer from playing the No. 4 position.

Right now, Andre Drummond is at the five and Josh Smith is at the four. There is no doubt that this is an adjustment to strengthen the interior defense.

With Josh Smith in charge of the defense, Andre Drummond doesn't have to take care of Greg Monroe's defensive holes as he did in the first quarter, and now he just needs to stay in the three-second zone and play his best. Frame protection.

Pistons go first.

Backup point guard Wil Burnham threw the ball to Josh Smith and cut back to the weak side himself, opening the Blazers' defense.

At the same time, the backup point guard Rodney Stuckey sank to the left bottom corner, which also opened the Blazers' defense, allowing Josh Smith to get a single shot.

This arrangement made him very excited.

When he was with the Eagles, Josh Smith, who was known as the all-around fighter, was more of a defensive end, which made him not satisfied with the position of the ball that the coaching staff arranged for him.

That's how the conflict between him and the Hawks came about.

Time will tell that the Hawks are right.

Josh Smith, who is 2.06 meters, is indeed talented. He has a pair of spring legs, can shoot, can rely on play, can block shots, and even pass the ball very well; the ball control and perimeter defense also reach the standard of perimeter players.

Can continue to advance, can accurately guide;

Can't prevent pick-and-roll, can protect the basket;

There is a score in the low position, and the take-off is a deduction;

These 13 books have the opportunity to be the explosive, extravagant, running and jumping enhanced version of the original Drummond Green...

However.

He was obsessed with archery.

He began to have a fanatical hobby for ultrlong two-pointers and three-pointers. He called himself a "mid-range shooter", and he didn't hit the basket in front of the league.

Last season, he made 201 three-pointers from the perimeter, in exchange for 61 three-pointers, and the shooting rate was only 30.3%. I am afraid that the Eagles management can no longer tolerate his fuse.

Wang Zelin remembers very clearly that this season, Josh Smith will make 256 three-pointers, only 70 of them, and the movement rate is only 26.4%.

Among the players who shot more than 200 three-pointers in a single season, only the fat head Anthony Walker, who made 73 of 285 shots, was a disastrous 25.6%.

Who is this gentleman!

One of the league's famous homeless, the No. 6 pick in the first round of the 1996 golden generation, he has a career efficiency in 6 NBA teams, but he is more fortunate. In 2006, he won the NBA championship with the Heat and was selected as an NBA All-Star three times.

On April 8, 2012, Fat Tou Tuo officially announced his retirement.

But one of his famous sayings still lives on to this day:

"Why do I shoot so many threes? Because there are no fours man!"

TMD Who dares to believe the words of a player who entered the league in the 1990s.

Even in the later small-ball era, I am afraid that few will be as obsessed with outside waves as Anthony Walker, and they are always super far...

From the first attack of the Pistons in the second quarter, Aldridge probably did not expect that the guy in front of him who averaged 17+ points per game last season...is so good at defense.

The method is also very simple and clear. As long as you put him two steps away, this 13 will definitely choose to shoot from the outside, but he still can't make it.

It's the Pistons' turn to attack.

When Will Bynum dribbled the ball just after halftime, Josh Smith immediately detoured from a 45-degree angle on the left to the top of the arc, actively reaching out to signal.

It's like saying: Give me the ball and I'll take you home!

Prior to this, Josh Smith had made 0 of 4 shots from the outside, which directly gave the Blazers 4 more quick counter-attack opportunities, resulting in the Pistons now falling behind by 5 points.

At 27:22, three minutes passed, and the Pistons were scoreless.

Will Batum turned his head aggrievedly and looked at head coach Michael Curry on the sidelines.

Michael Curry is also making a difficult decision in his heart at this time: the team's management has pressed Josh Smith to the account this year, in order to strengthen the team's flanking defense and allow the team to return to the playoffs as soon as possible .

How can tickets be sold without entering the playoffs?

Can't sell tickets, everyone is waiting to eat dirt!

So, it's the year of the year that Smith is without a doubt the strongest player on the Pistons right now...

The strongest ~ often represents privilege!

"Forget it, let's take a look, if you still can't get in..."

Michael Curry remembered some requests from the team's management, and could only tolerate Josh Smith's continued nonsense.

Of course, tolerance has a limit.

If Josh Smith's actions affect the team's winning plan, do what to do with it.

At the moment the team is only 5 points behind, it's not too tight, once Josh Smith can make this three-pointer, that's 2...

"Duang~"

Another strike came, and I heard the boos from the surrounding audience. This time, it was like hitting Michael Curry in the face, and his face instantly turned blue. I remember that he wanted to call the next timeout on the spot.

"Ah~"

The raised hand was put down again.

Because now is not their turn!

Under the basket, Wang Zelin saw the rebounding position, stretched out his hand, and got the fifth rebound in a single quarter.

At this rhythm, with two more rounds, he can rebound in double figures.

Thinking of this, watching the back of the Pistons player No. 5 getting farther and farther, Wang Zelin couldn't help crying: "Brother Xun is right, there are still many good people in this world!"

"Wang, can you give me the ball?"

Aside, Lillard said sourly.

Josh Smith's stubborn behavior was seen by the Blazers players. For Wang Zelin, the rebounding reaper, everyone was envious and jealous.

When will I have such an opportunity, I can brush up to fly without having to work **** data!

so comfy!

In the Pistons half, Josh Smith looked unfinished: It's cool, talent should play like this, what a waste of my talent on the Hawks.

When he came to the frontcourt, he saw Will Bynum let himself go, and he called Wang Zelin's pick-and-roll with the ball.

Wang Zelin's layup provided a high-quality cover. Lillard made two steps to the left and immediately pulled out his hand.

"Shh!"

He shot this ball full of depression, but fortunately, the ball was scored.

At 30:22, the Blazers led by 8 points at home.

The next second, Pistons head coach Michael Curry couldn't sit still and called a timeout on the spot.

"Smith, look what you've done?"

Josh Smith returned to the bench, and before he had time to sit down, he was greeted by a veiled question from the head coach.

"I..." Josh Smith glanced at the direction of the scoreboard with a guilty conscience, and naturally knew that everything was caused by himself, and he said nothing in an instant.

"Just because of your crazy 3-pointers, because of your honey juice operation alone, everyone's previous efforts were all in vain, are you worthy of us? You TM***"

Seeing that Josh Smith had no intention of apologizing at all, Andre Drummond, who had done a few minutes of vain running back and forth on the court, was furious at the time, and he immediately scolded in a violent temper.

"enough!!!"

Josh Smith is also a master of temper. He thinks that even a little mistake in front of him can't be a reason for him to be offended by a rookie.

After he decided to join the Pistons, he positioned himself as the team leader. How could he climb on his head for a second-year rookie.

Josh Smith roared for a long time, and the audience in the front row noticed it, and some reporters quickly picked up their cameras and recorded everything that happened.

"I tell you, I came to Detroit to lead you to win, not to be scolded, otherwise who would want to come to this **** place?"

Josh Smith looked around, he felt that it was time for him to establish the authority of the team leader, otherwise some crooked melons would provoke him next time.

"asshole!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

This remark completely angered all three generations of Pistons players.

It wasn't just Andre Drummond who was furious this time.

Rodney Stuckey, who used Allen Iverson as a backup, was trained by the Pistons management as the core of the team, and then changed to play the sixth man on the team due to lack of strength, was angry.

Billups, who had just played four games back in Detroit, was also angry.

"What, what's the matter!" Josh Smith was sullen at first, but when he thought of the dishes of the three people in front of him, the waste, the old and the old, he was confident enough.

"Humph! You two rookies and trash, and you, this old immortal, do you think you are very good? Do you think you can lead Detroit to the championship? Fight me Josh Smith, do you have that strength? And don't look at who's in control of the Pistons right now..."

Josh Smith smiled disdainfully, and mocking words emerged one after another.

"Before you came, I was the champion! Now I dare to say that I am not qualified..."

For example, Puth exploded his hair instantly and got up and angered Josh Smith.

Michael Curry also frowned a little, he couldn't understand why a good team suddenly had such a big difference.

But he knew that he couldn't help thinking about the situation in front of him. If he didn't speak up, the scene was about to start directly: "Just stop here!"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Mike Brown continued: "Listen, the Detroit Pistons are a team, never one's team, I want to see the goals of your team, not individual heroism."

His words left Josh Smith, Andre Drummond and other four speechless.

But there is nothing to say, the four did not change their respective thoughts because of Coach Jia's remarks.

The seeds of disagreement have been planted, and what awaits is the flowering and fruiting.

The court broadcast live.

Yang Jian and Ma Jian looked at each other.

What is this doing!

Why did the scene suddenly become like this?

Didn't the Pistons still play well in the first quarter?

Isn't it just 8 points behind?

Why are you suddenly noisy?

Looking at this scene, Josh Smith is preparing for a three against one another!

Yang Jian and Ma Jian looked at each other again, instead of the weird atmosphere during the live broadcast, they chose to continue eating melons.

The same goes for the fans at the scene and the Blazers players on the other side, eating melons silently, just missing peanut soda.

A spat wasted two long timeouts for the Pistons.

However, seeing the scene subside, Michael Curry can finally put down a boulder in his heart: If you keep arguing, long pauses are not enough.

Now, he only hopes that the players can actively cooperate and pull back the score as soon as possible.

Up until now, even he can see that No. 36 of the Blazers is obviously not in good shape today. It is rare that the goddess of luck has stood on the Pistons side, giving a great opportunity. If you don't grasp it properly, you will be punished.

within the venue.

Looking at the performance of the players, Michael Curry became more and more angry, and he felt a fire burning frantically in his body.

After the timeout, Michael Curry changed to the main lineup, in order to play the effect of the first quarter.

As a result, the players had other ideas, and they all played according to their own ideas after receiving them.

Billups took the lead in affecting the other three players, and vaguely separated Josh Smith from the team system, leaving the latter completely unable to touch the ball.

You are the first year of the first year, and I will be the fifteenth.

After being rejected by his teammates, Josh Smith's attitude on the defensive end was obviously negative. On the offensive end, he grabbed rebounds and dribbled the ball from the backcourt. During this period, he also gave the Blazers 2 steals.

High EQ: The Pistons suddenly played a lot more decisively!

Low EQ: What the **** did the TMD Pistons play!

As long as there is a chance to make a shot, even if he sees his teammates in a better position, no matter who is holding the ball, he will choose himself without hesitation.

The result is that after the second quarter, the data of individual players is very good.

Josh Smith scored 3 points and 4 rebounds. For example, the number of shots in the first quarter was much higher than in the first quarter. He scored two three-pointers and scored 8 points in the half.

But at halftime, the Pistons trailed by 14 points.

can not understand!

I really don't understand!

Terry Stotts, who returned to the locker room at halftime, shouted "I don't understand" in his heart. The Pistons' playing style is too weird.

In the first quarter, we played as a team, and everyone had a clear division of labor; in the second quarter, Josh Smith took the lead in the three waves, and then Billups followed suit, making a decisive shot and playing like a star.

Are the Pistons using Andre Drummond as their top Howard ambassador?

Or do they think that the ability to fight for stars will be better than the Blazers?

No matter which idea it was, Terry Stotts wanted to greet the Pistons coaching staff weakly: "Do you have that strength?"

"Is it because of the quarrel during the timeout? The Pistons' game style has changed dramatically..."

Like him, several teaching assistants were also confused.

David Vanderpool suggested: "How about we switch to double-team defense in the second half?"

Terry Stotts nodded first, then shook his head quickly and said, "No, it's better to maintain the defensive strategy in the first half and let them take turns playing singles."

The Pistons only lost a few games against the strong team in the new season, and they can win against the weak team, which shows that they have indeed become a lot stronger than last season.

But compared to the Blazers, their so-called strength is actually limited.

If it wasn't for Wang Zelin's decline before the game, which caused him to be caught off guard by his opponent, the Blazers would never have fallen behind by 3 points in the first quarter.

Since the other side wants to compete for stars, let's fight, Terry Stotts is not afraid at all!

On the Pistons side, if Billups doesn't explode, there is only one star like Josh Smith.

On the other hand, on the Blazers side, Aldridge is a real All-Star level player, an absolute league star.

Wang Zelin's state has declined today, and he can't play offense, but his defense point is there, it's 0.5.

That is, the Blazers have 1.5 stars, and the team atmosphere is obviously better than that of the Pistons.

1.5 to 1, so what are you afraid of!

Maintain the current defensive state and let them face Biao.

However, it should be said that when Aldridge released a lot of ball possessions and concentrated all his energy on offense, the firepower was really great!

In the first quarter, he scored 8 points on 4 of 6 shots, and made persistent efforts in the second quarter, scoring 20 points on 9 of 11 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 28 points in the half.

If it wasn't for Josh Smith, who took the lead in the second quarter to make the game faster and faster, the fans would never have seen Aldridge in full swing.

In this game, Aldridge conquered many people and refreshed many people's views of him.

At least that's how Tristos is.

Tonight he was really shocked by Aldridge's firepower~www.mtlnovel.com~ During halftime, Terry Stotts boasted: "LaMarcus, still playing like this in the second half! The team has the ball today. It's all yours, you can come as you want."

"Um!"

Aldridge replied excitedly.

So far in his career, Aldridge's highest score in a single game is still at the 42 points scored by the Blazers against the Bulls on February 8, 2011.

No one does not want to get a good data!

So does Aldridge.

But as Wang Zelin's performance got better and better, and the ball became more concentrated, Aldridge thought he would miss the 50-point night in his life.

But he was not jealous or complaining about Wang Zelin, because he knew that as a team leader, Wang Zelin did better than him, and leading the team to the Western Conference finals last year is the best proof.

However, it was rare for the goddess of luck to stand on his side once, giving a great opportunity. If you don't grasp it properly, you will be punished by heaven.
